Had my first appointment with my Diabetic Educator

I am doing well since my very first post. My husband and I met with my Diabetic Educator yesterday and now I have an accurate roadmap to health to follow. I had just ordered a cook book called, Good food, Great Medicine. It follows the Mediterranian Diet, so this will be helpful , I had a lot of questions answered and many fears I had eliminated.

Diabetic Educators are a very important link that can be the difference between good and not so good control. I am so glad that you are meeting with one. Keep doing so until you feel comfortable on your own.

Hi Cathleen,Very good Cathleen. Great news…The Mediterranean Diet is a wonderful diet to follow. I was on it for about 6 months at one point. I lost then it just stopped. No matter what I did I was never able to loose any more. As I remember I think I lost around 40 lbs. That's when I went off all diets. I gained most of how muchI lost back. When I had my mind wrapped around it again I startedback. I chose the Atkins diet. I have lost 90 plus lbs. and feel great. I'm not trying to talk you out of anything just letting you know what happened to me. I wish you all the best wishes in the world. I'm so happy for you. You have s very supportive husband.That's wonderful. He's a keeper for sure…hugs, VL

HI Cathleen, once again. Now make that eye exam a once a year thing. That's most important. So is the care of your dental health. I just learned oral care can help control your diabetes. i' m thinking of writing a discussion about it. Hugs, VL
